This afternoon I played a quick emergency 9 at beer:30 with a beginning golfer friend of mine. It seems to be becoming a weekly thing for us. Yes, he’s right obsessed, like the rest of us. I am proud to take credit for luring him into our world.
We played at the local pitch n putt where he actually has a decent shot of besting me on any given day. (Sorry about today, Ron, golf is hard. And cruel. Welcome to it.)
During the round, I tweeted this “action pic” and expressed my delight over the multifunctional brilliance of the fabulous tool.
Turns out I’m not the only one who thought the little gadget was actually a fantastic idea and a necessity for any drinker with a golfing habit. Some folks expressed interest on the twitters so I figured it might be nice to provide some more info, and here it is.
Save the Greens, Save the Tatas
That’s right, finally that same simple tool you keep in your pocket while you play golf does more than just repair your ball marks. It also opens your bottles. I was never that clever MacGyver type who could deftly pop a bottle top with my lighter, and now that I don’t carry one that’s not even an option to struggle with when needed.
I get a lot of funky golf gadgets but this one actually spends rounds in my pocket. I love it. It’s called a Turf Key.
Repair your ball mark, open your beer, and contribute to a good cause when you opt for the pretty Pink Turf Key For a Cure.
Still not handy enough? Don’t forget you can always use a tool like this to rest your club on so your grip doesn’t get wet. Or even stick your cigar in there while you putt. Oh, how about cleaning your cleats? So much usefulness in such a simple design! To make it even handier, there’s a hole at the end so you can attach it to your key chain if you want to show off your golf nerdiness everywhere you go.
The cute little tool also comes in other colors like blue, yellow and standard silver, with or without the bottle opener (although I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want that option for the same low price).
The same company also makes the patent pending “Tri-Tee.” I keep forgetting to try this little bugger but I maybe now that I’m writing this I will think of it my next time out! It certainly seems like an interesting “zero friction” idea. If you’ve tried it, please let me know what you think.
You can get all these items for yourself on the Turf Key website, and they also have low wholesale pricing, racks and it looks like a nice POP display if you want to sell them in your shop.
